How to approach running to build endurance?

[ChrisTMT]

I want to increase my endurance but I dont know how to approach it so that my legs and my body wont be sore. I want to start running again on a soccer field and I dont know how many times per week I should do that an how many miles to start with. Could someone help me?

[AlexKid]

you go run

OR

You stay at home studying the optimal ways to build endurance while not running, perhaps buy a book or 3

how do I tie my shoe laces guys?

if you are sore dont run, if you are not sore run

Not sure about boxing but for Aussie rules, which is probably the most demanding endurance sport out there, lap sprints were great.

Absolute torture to do during preseason in 100 degrees but they do the job.

Basically sprint from 1 goal to another as fast as you can, then walk around the boundary back to the goal you started at and repeat until you drop dead.

maybe start running from side to side on a soccer pitch.

your legs will stop getting sore once you do it consistently for a couple of weeks.

I'm gonna try this! Of course it's not 100 right now, but still gonna try it. I usually run 5 miles a day, but want to switch it up here and there. thanks

Boxing is the most demanding sport out there. Period.

Don't listen to AlexKid - he is just a ******ed troll


The easiest way to inform yourself is to watch some running videos from actually pro runners / dudes who know their craft


But start with 2 times a week for maybe 15-30 minutes, depending on how much you can run.

Keep that rate for about 3 weeks.
Then you can start running 3 times a week for 30 minutes for 1-2 months.
Steadily increase the run time.
Keep in mind that your endurance builds way faster than your ligaments and tendons adjust to the constant stress. Do not make the same mistake I did and over do it. You will inflame or injure your tendons which will take months to recover if you do not correctly increase your work rate!

Well first of all, when you did run before what and how much did you do? What do you think you can do? And are you overall in decent shape? And lastly how old are you?

There are so many variables without knowing what I asked but generally no matter what you are going to be sore, theres no denying this but you dont have to run everyday. You can alternate distance running with swim days (laps) and use a treadmill to gauge your speed on odd days. Like I said, you are going to be sore no matter what and expect it for the first 2 weeks. It takes 21 consecutive days to form a habit. After 21 days itll be come routine and the soreness in the muscles will cease, as far as joint soreness you can always run the track to ease the pressure. I know after I turned 30 I started to feel joint pain for the first time. But like I said, swimming mixed with distance running, and throw in sprints on the odd days and your stamina will increase dramatically in a months time.

dont see much point in long runs like the old school boxers used to do, outdated and not sport specific at all. Completely unneccesary way of building stamina for boxing.
